I am now 30 years old...

The birthday celebrations have passed. Here is a brief report: Camping, as previously mentioned, went well. On Wednesday - not my birthday - My parents, Joe and Marla & I went to Bottelinos in Bath. It is an Italian restaurant that I had fond memories of. Unfortunately, I found the food not so good. My piccante pizza was not at all piccante. After dinner we went back home and I opened my presents from Mum & Dad, Marla and Joe. Plus we had cake that was made by Joe and was the sweetest cake ever. Dinner aside, it was a great evening.

Then on Thursday - my actual birthday - we had Andy, Fi, Joe, Paul, Rach, Griff, Jay & Marie over to our place. It was a great evening. Rachael made Lasagne, Griff brought a starter, Andy & Fi brought dessert (plus we had some of Joe's sweet cake left over). It was a fab meal. Then there were presents again. It was all finished off with a game of Cranium - which my team won.

All in all, a great birthday. Photos can be found in this Ofoto album.

The only downside to the week was that Rascal was not well at all and we made a couple of trips to the vet. Luckily, he appears to be a bit better today, so hopefully he is recovering.

Now thoughts turn to Susanne & Mark's visit at the end of the month!

P.S. The Premiership season is drawing to a close. Liverpool are still in 4th spot and are still in the "driver's seat". A win against Newcastle next weekend will do the business. As I type Newcastle have just drawn 1-1 with Wolves which means that they have to win their mid-week game vs Southampton and the game in Liverpool to finish 4th.
